I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 54

"Wow, the Founder Medal?"

"Yup! The Imperial Palace sent someone to the clothing store!"

Every year, on the day of its founding, the Emperor bestows medals.

It is up to the Emperor to whom the medal will be awarded.

Several successive Emperors gave medals to their son, the Prince.

The contents of the medal are also different.

In some cases, it is given to an ordinary person, and in some cases, one of the royal relatives is awarded.

"Dad made ready-made clothes to help improve the health of the Imperial People ..."

He still could not believe it, he muttered and pinched my cheek.

"Dad is the best!"

I kissed my father's cheek and made him happier.

Actually, I already know.

The fact that the recipient of this year's Founder's Medal is my father.

It was because Emperor Jovanes had already conveyed his intentions to my grandfather three months ago, and Clerivan had told me that.

I didn't write to Perez that I'd see him sooner or later.

Moreover, this year's banquet is expected to be more special.

Clerivan brought news that a large family, who led each region, had arrived in the capital to attend the banquet.

South Sussew, East Luman, West Angenas, and North Ivan.

Of all the Imperial Banquets that have been held in the past few decades, is there a banquet as grand as this time and attended by many distinguished guests?

"Because they told me to attend the Supper in three days. What should I prepare?"

Dad still muttered and picked my clothes first.

Not me, but my dad won the award.

"I'll wear clothes at Gallahan's clothing store!"

Dad was surprised by what I shouted, and his eyes widened.

"But, Tia. Clothes in the clothing store..."

My father was silent for a moment.

"It's a little.. to be worn to the Imperial Palace's Banquet ..... How about wearing the clothes that Aunt Shananet gave me as a gift this time?"

It seemed like he was worried that I would be reviled after going to the imperial palace in ready-to-wear clothes.

On the one hand, it was a natural worry. The finished clothes were the clothes of ordinary people.

I know dad received a medal for making ready-to-wear clothes for them, who always felt hot or cold.

But he couldn't hold my stubbornness.

"I'll wear the clothes my father made!"

"Tia ...."

Dad hugged me tight.

It seems like she was moved by my extreme innocence.

"Thank you, Tia."

Dad patted my back at the end of his crying voice.

"Whose daughter will be so beautiful?"

I hugged my father tightly too.

I feel good, so I laugh.

The Imperial Palace's Banquet.

This is a great opportunity to promote children's clothing.

"Your Majesty is waiting."

The Emperor's butler said softly to Perez as he approached.

This is the beginning time when the sun has just risen.

Jovanes called Perez once a month to have breakfast with him.

The others looked at him and seemed to say, 'His Highness cares deeply for the Second Prince', but they were wrong.

Perez thinks this is a bit like surveillance.

He checked to see if the Second Prince who was reluctant to socialize thought of something.

When he entered, the Emperor had already eaten.

Without a casual greeting, Jovanes did not stop eating, confirming that Perez came with a quick glance.

Perez, too, took a seat and sat in one place.

Before long, the food was prepared with the same delicious food that the Emperor had eaten.

Looking back, Perez recalled the first day he entered Poirak Palace.

When he started getting used to moldy food, that was the day he first learned what 'prince-like food' was'.

That day when the sun was setting, candles were lit, and wall torches were lit all night, and he realized how warm the night was.

On a day when anger is hotter than a blazing fire.

The only thing that made Perez laugh considering that day was Florentia.

"I heard that the duration of your Aura has increased significantly."

The emperor said to Perez, who was thinking of Florentia.

"……Yes.Yes."

"true."

It was very short to answer to the emperor, but Jovanes did not mind.

It was because his interest was focused on Perez's outstanding sword skills.

When he first read the report that the swordsman teacher brought to the chief of staff, Jovanes doubted his eyes.

At the age of thirteen, Perez was already able to maintain Aura for an hour!

To date, there has been no such achievement in the Empire's history.

At the age of thirteen, it is the age at which talent is assessed by following physical and basic training.

A similar example is Astana, the First Prince.

Astana, who had been holding a sword from a much younger age than Perez, had just completed basic training at the age of fifteen and had just started a theory class for Aura.

Very fast progress.

Looking at Astana, the imperial nobles said, 'The future of the Imperial Family is bright'.

Until now, Perez's achievements were known only to Jovanes and his swordsmanship teacher.

But except for them, Perez is still the forgotten Prince.

It was completely different from Astana, who received the attention of the nobles at every step of the way.

Only they know Perez's whereabouts.

"Perez."

Perez put the spoon over Jovanes' call.

"Present the Imperial Banquet this time."

Perez's red eyes looked at the Emperor doubtfully.

Jovanes looked into those eyes and wondered if Perez's mother, whose face was no longer remembered, had such red eyes.

“......I think it's not a good idea.”

What came out after a moment of silence was rejection.

Jovanes was puzzled, he did not even expect Perez would refuse the Emperor's order.

Perez has lived in a hidden place so far, Jovenes thinks he would love to finally jump at the chance to get out into the sun.

although usually not much expression on Perez's face.

There's a sign of frustration now.

"You are someone who should be recognized as the Second Prince."

Jovanes said as a last warning.

"Do I need a confession?"

"What?"

Even when the Jovenes asked again, Perez stubbornly covered his mouth without explaining any further.

The Emperor looked at him and muttered to himself.

"You boys, you look like me."

For a moment, Perez's eyes were filled with unpleasant displeasure, but Jovanes, engrossed in his own thoughts, continued to speak without seeing him.

"Yes. You are my blood without the acknowledgement of the nobles. You are the Second Prince of the Lambrew Kingdom."

'The 'confession' spoken of was not just the recognition of the nobles, as Jovannes said.

That meant needing the Emperor's recognition as well.

In fact, it had been less than three years since the Emperor began to care whether Perez was alive or dead.

Before that, Perez was thrown to the Empress, who wished him dead.

Perhaps the Emperor hoped his mistake would disappear overnight like that.

However, Jovanes seems to have thought of it in a very different way.

He probably thought that Perez would be happy to be given a chance like this.

"That's ..."

Perez tried to correct the misunderstanding but was troubled by the Emperor's words.

“But the nobles need to know that Astana is not the only prince recognized by the Emperor.”

Astana.

Perez's eyes changed on 1st Prince's name.

Jovanes, who noticed it, burst into laughter.

"Yes. You seem to agree with that."

In fact, it's better to stay hidden for a few more years if it's entirely in Perez's interest.

Astana's mother, the great power of Angenas, Perez couldn't let her.

Although Perez had Lulak Lombardy as his regent, it was only an agreement between the Emperor and Lulak.

So, it's good to keep quiet as is and develop more power yourself.

But that's only the way for Perez.

It's not for Jovannes.

"The Imperial Banquet has had a special meaning in many ways since ancient times."

Not long ago, Angenas offered 10 gold bars.

It was an act taken by Angenas to check for Perez's whereabouts and make him look good by Jovanes.

Angenas should pay attention if Perez is in the Imperial Banquet this time around.

More than 10 gold bars.

"More special this year. Gallahan Lombardy would be accepted to receive a medal, so the nobles attending the banquet would be the same as usual...."

“I will attend.”

Perez said at the time.

his face was bright, and his eyes were shining brightly..

"It looks like you're greedy."

Jovanes nodded and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

It was because he did not even think that Perez would change his attitude like lightning just by hearing the name 'Gallahan Lombardy'.

* * *

The Empire's Founder's Supper Day. I'm getting ready with Louryl's help.

“Ya, here it is.”

I laughed with satisfaction as I moved my body in front of the mirror.

"Wow, Miss is so funny!"

"Really?"

Usually, kids my age hate it when adults say 'cute'.

But no matter what they think, if I look cute to an adult, it doesn't matter.

It is the adults who buy the clothes of the children.

To promote the children's clothing that was launched this time, the dress I chose was a soft brown dress.

This is a style that adults love to wear to their children, which makes my green eyes stand out and look neat.

But that's not all.

A faded white silk blouse is worn inside a monochromatic dress, and green silk embroidered with colorful flowers in gold is sewn along the end of the brown dress.

A fine emerald attached to a brown cloth, which could appear flat, the rosary made of silver, which was thicker than a finger joint, was used to tie the waist once to make the dress thicker.

In addition, the part of her arm was adorned with round white lace, which made her a beautiful and beautiful dress that could not be considered a ready-made dress.

Although initially similar to others, a ready-made charm that can turn into a unique look by showing the desired accessories and fashion sense of each will be shown.

Of course, the point here is that everyone knows what a monotonous ready-to-wear suit looks like.

One needs to know the prototypes so one can find out how expensive the jewelry I use is and how I turn it into a beautiful design with an aesthetic sense.

It was a great material to stimulate the competitive spirit of nobles who liked to show off, had a lot of money, time, and a little work.
